This paper seeks to challenge a certain historiographical consensus about the modernization of Brazilian journalism and a linear view of history on the national press that sometimes “forgets” its literary tradition. This diagnosis can be evidenced in the erasure of the daily culture sections as an important part of the history of printed newspapers. From a dialogue between Koselleck’s notion of temporal layers (2006) and Octavio Paz’s (1984) considerations on ruptures in modernity, we analyze the meaning of these absences and forgetfulness in historiographical bibliography about Jornal do Brasil and its pioneer and lasting Caderno B (1960-2010), seeking to point out a wider textual and contextual network.
